Descriptions

A SQL injection vulnerability in an Trend Micro Email Encryption Gateway 5.5 search configuration script could allow an attacker to execute SQL commands to upload and execute arbitrary code that may harm the target system.

Una vulnerabilidad de inyección SQL en un script de búsqueda de configuraciones de Trend Micro Email Encryption Gateway 5.5 podría permitir que un atacante ejecute comandos SQL para subir y ejecutar código arbitrario que pudiera comprometer el sistema objetivo.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL statements on vulnerable installations of Trend Micro Encryption for Email Gateway. Although authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability, the existing authentication mechanism can be bypassed.
The specific flaw exists within the wsEmailSearch class. When parsing the SearchString parameter, the process does not properly validate a user-supplied string before using it to construct SQL queries. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code under the context of root.

Trend Micro Email Encryption Gateway suffers from cleartext transmission of sensitive information, missing authentication, cross site request forgery, cross site scripting, and various other vulnerabilities.
